Generative writing lessons in Brussels (English & Dutch), by a published novelist
course price icon
A partir de 56.96 $ /h
arrow icon
The purpose of this class is to get you (back to) writing. It doesn't matter if you're stuck or just getting started.

With simple generative writing prompts and exercises, I'll help you overcome your fear of the blank page and start writing. My goal is to help you "rest on the page" and get into a state of flow through techniques like freewriting, list-making, and word associations.

You can also receive individual feedback and support on your current or upcoming writing projects, along with helpful exercises that you can do at home, which we can then discuss.

The class can be taught in either English or Dutch.

Ilona (1992) lives and works in Brussels as a writer, poet, and photographer. Her work examines the fragile architecture of being human, paying particular attention to what hides at the edges of existence, in the shadow of shame. With a background in English literature, linguistics, and political science, she has worked as a writer and copywriter for a decade. Newspaper De Morgen praised her debut novel Donkerkiemer (Pelckmans Publishers, 2023) as ‘particularly cleverly composed' and 'psychologically and philosophically profound’. Themes such as ritual, memory, and loss, as well as a gentle rebellion against prevailing norms and systems, are central to her work. She is currently working on a second novel.

Hello !

I have been teaching French as a private tutor for a good ten years to students from all backgrounds, of all ages and with extremely varied objectives.

I am a passionate, motivated, cheerful, and attentive private tutor. Languages are a passion of mine, and teaching them is a vocation.

I suggest that we progress together, quickly and efficiently in a good mood, using varied, interesting and fun materials!

Learning a language opens the door to a significant cultural journey and a new world to explore, but it's also a real challenge. Giving you the means to learn, progress, achieve goals, and feel your growing motivation is a source of immense satisfaction for me in my profession as a teacher, trainer, and coach.

Smiles, good humor and kindness are on the agenda!

See you soon ;)
